Pain Point and Solutions Spotlight: Paperless MRO Applications
This month we tackled two pervasive IT challenges in the MRO industry:
- Administrative Burden & Complex Documentation
- Bridging the Talent Gap in Aerospace
For track and trace imposed by regulations, Technicians are required to document symptoms, faults found, corrective actions, capture photos of completed work for every unit before signing off. This process is time-consuming, prone to errors, reduces component touch-time and overall efficiency.
Invest in paperless applications that streamline the operational workflow, alleviate administrative burden, increase component touch-time, enable efficiencies, through digitalizing the operations, allowing technicians to focus on their core tasks.
MROs encounter significant challenges in attracting new recruits. Aerospace has become less appealing due to its historical vulnerability to workforce reductions during global crises. Instead, many young individuals are drawn to emerging technologies like drones, eVTOL, space , blockchain, and other advanced fields. The industry does not actively promote aerospace engineering as an attractive career choice to students, further contributing to talent acquisition challenge.
Develop targeted recruitment strategies that highlight the innovative and high-tech aspects of the aerospace industry, emphasizing the use of advanced technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning, blockchain, robotics, etc. Collaborate with educational institutions to promote aerospace engineering as an attractive career choice and offer internship and apprenticeship programs to provide hands-on experience to young talent. Create an employee value proposition customized for the next generation of talent.
The allure of these emerging fields, coupled with a lack of targeted outreach, has made aerospace engineering less visible on the radar of potential recruits. It’s time for a strategic shift in how the industry showcases the dynamic, impactful careers aerospace has to offer.
Aero NextGen is on a mission to transform the necessary evil of documentation into a streamlined, error-free process that enhances, rather than hinders, your workflow. We also recognize the critical need to inspire and engage young minds in the marvels of aerospace.
Join us in redefining the narrative and ensuring the future of aviation is as bright and promising as the technologies we’re pioneering.
